5.F.A.Q

What is this event about?
This event is basically a secret santa event, but instead of pets, it is gifted in ART. On the 1st of December, everyone participating will have their usernames put into a random list generator-random.org. It will generate and jumble of the usernames, and the person will be assigned the person below them eg.
1.Person A
2.Person B
3.Person C

Person A will draw for Person B, B for C and C for A.
Therefore, the person you will draw for/draw for you will be totally random!


How are the people participating chosen?
A large list of very talented artists on Chickensmoothie are chosen to participate in this special event! Skilled artists will be chosen, and notified. Of course, there are many wonderful artists on Chickensmoothie, and we can not possibly know every single one of you. So people can nominate you VIA PM and we'll see if they are suitable for this event or not!
However, you CANNOT nominate yourself. Someone most nominate for you.


How do I know if I'm chosen or not?
People who are chosen for this event will be notified via PM. If someone sends me a nomination for someone and is accepted, I will notify you back saying that your nomination was accepted and notify the nominee
Please note that people I send PM's to does that necessarily mean that they will participate, as some do not have such time to do so.

Emberwolf

Dear Secret Santa,
I'd love some art of my fursona Lucius. Illior, my other character, is art-less right now, so it'd be awesome to get some art of her if you don't want to do Lucius ^-^ Both of them and further bios can be found here if you need it. :3

Irbis

Dearest Santa or anyone who this will apply to, I believe I have been a good kitty this year, if you would be so kind as to buy me a Porsche gift me a drawing of my fursona, as seen here(pfft old ref), this is how swirly and glowy she gets at dark. x3 It would be the most marvelous Christmas Gift. Of course, you might always prefer to draw my cross-fox-steampunk-always-crazy character, Tachi. instead.
Always grateful,
-Irbis

Iboom
Dear Santa,

I've been a good a good girl most of the time this year. c:
I'd really love to see art of my fursona Jazzmin [don't include the Yin-Yang sign, please] or if you prefer to draw felines, I would be very happy about art of my little Dexter[He has one earring and one normal piercing on each ear, one under his nose and actually three lip-piercings on one side (all three are rings)].
If you choose to draw Jazzmin something christmas-y would be nice, like a santa hat or dress but it's really up to you how you want to draw her.

Thank you secret santa and have a very happy X-mas! <3[/i]
Neara

Dear Santa
This year id really love to get some good art of my Sona Neara in her evolved form (ref coming soon)
though if you find her too stubborn, id love some art of my horse Dakota http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e208/neara0614/Kota.jpg in a running pose please :+ he is a leopard Appaloosa, more pictures are available (will be uploading more to my DA) neara0412.deviantart.com :} Thank You <3

Lilian Nightshade

Well, I'd love to see some arts of Nightwing or Amira. They haven't gotten much art ^^. A drawing of my guardian Dharivall(his markings are not needed) would be very appreciated, too.

Marquee Moony

Dear Santa and artists at this swap,
This year for Christmas I would love art of Ivy [x], Kina [x], or Tressa [x]; you can decide which. <3
Just some tips~
I love scarves, so you can be creative and add one (or change Tressa's) with any design you'd like.
And if you plan to do any sort of background, I love snowy nights like this, so that would be wonderful.

Aura

Dear Santa,
I know I lost faith in you since a few years ago, but I still love Santa. <3
If I would get some art, I'd love it!
Most of characters are canine so unfortunately there won't be much range. So if you want, you may design a character for me, based on the theme
Canines: Unnamed, or Firaque or Orion
Humans: Unnamed
I guess Firaque might be preferred since she has little/no art, but if you take a shine to any of the others please feel free to draw them. <3
Thank you so much!
Lots of love,

Aura

Moggy

Dear Secret Santa,
I've been good this year, (for the most part L0L) and would love to see some art of my sona Moggy. But what I would REALLY love is if you could include my pet, bunny Alex. He has been very sick lately and just recently has gotten better. There was a time there I thought I would loose him. *tear* so now that he's better I'd love to have a picture of my sona and him together as a wonderful reminder of how important he is to me, and that I'm happy that I didn't loose him. <3

Thank you Secret Santa, Have a very, merry Christmas!

P.S. If you are willing to include Alex please note that Alex has thin black bands around eyes (almost like eyeliner) but the rest of him is pure white. He is a Dwarf Hotot so feel free to look up the breed fo more examples. ^-^

Zbee210

Dear Secret Santa,

I have been a good girl this year and have made up my mind on what i would like!
Art of my fursona would be appreciated, her name is Darkstorm or Darksoul, doesn't really mater. Here are so references of her, x,X. As you can see, i need art of her because sadly....all the new stuff of her i did was lost to my dead computer.

Or, i wold like art of Gursha or Nightlight. They are interesting in there own way. Deeply attached to one another but have a brotherly way of messing with one another. Gursha is a smart but hot headed one where as Nightlight is the cold and evil one who only cares about himself. Gursha&Nightlight, Nightlight They have vary little art and need some recognition.

Noa

I'd love any art of either of my two characters Noa and Kaoru. But Kaoru needs art the most if you would have to pick one. ^^

Kaoru's markings are symmetrical. Kaoru's back marking is an upside down heart.

Noa's markings as symmetrical too except for her face markings under her eyes. Noa's back marking is a butterfly.

Dreamfall

first, my Fursona Dream and main charrie Cáel which both need art. Cáel has only one floppy ear btw. xD And Dream is fine as human too <3
then my new charrie Melanthos, I'd really prefer to get some art of him instead of any other charrie, but if my secret santa is uncomfortable with his design one of the others is fine ö3ö
and if my secret santa prefers drawing wolves, I'd like to get Riah or Luron, which can both be found in this post.
Also, if my secret santa likes drawing cats, raion who's also in the post above would be awesome too (his design is pretty hard though >o>)

Kirimi

Dear Secret Santa,
This year I've been running around eating people's pants.I've been good this year <3 For christmas, I would like art of my dear...oh god, can't decided o__o. Ok well santa, you can decide <3 Umi Unnamed (accessories part of design)Lucci

Taiyo

Dear Santa,
I haven't written to you in years, no it's not because I've lost faith in you or anything like that... >.>''
I believe you're real :'D
I've been good says me :'D
For Christmas I've been wanting this:
Lira is my beautiful fursona :'D she represents me in so many, many ways, yet I've never had time to draw or get art for her :'D so this year, I would LOVE it if you could draw something for her :'D
She loves apples, I think it's because of me :'x

Arak here is my evil, snarky character. I really like his personality, I created him for an OCT (that I sadly lost, but with pride :'D) and I couldn't part with him o.o'' I guess, some art for him might warm him up? :'D he's quite a lonely guy inside~

So far all the characters I've shown you have been pretty day-to-day seen personalities~ So here is Zer! He's a really flirty, crazy kind of wolf, so if you want to draw something really crazy or 'out of the box' he would be your choice! :'D

I'm fine with any art for any of those characters, thank you so much... for the art santa :'D I can't wait to see how you do with a pen xD -teehee-

Zanjux

Well Id love to see some art of my 'sona Nane. X <-shows all her markings (the blue stripes on her legs/tail are totally random and everything else is symmetrical except for her blue scar that is only on the left side of her chest)
